Living a life?
The time is now 12.54 pm as indicated on my PC screen. Day is Tuesday. Looking out the window just behind the monitor, is a sky of greyish clouds. Such has been the weather these days. Gone are the burning hot afternoons. Days have been cooler and gone are the sweaty discomforts. Even without an air conditioner or even a fan switched on, I do not produce even a trickle of sweat. It’s natural air and wind all around me now.
Looking out again, it’s so calm and quiet. Clouds is slowly drifting past in in the sky. Plants are slowly swaying from side to side. When a light rain’s gone, the sun appears until another shift of dark clouds take over the sky again. Every now and then, a car passes by on the street outside. At least there’s no irritating VROOM VROOOM VROOOMM!!!!!!!! , the revving of a pissed off engine. Anyway, of course not …as one who does so is not around, my bro.
Being here alone at home day and night, I’m the usual target to oblige on house chores, and that includes to hang out the entire family’s wardrobe of clothes and keeping them on check 24/7. Now there, the drizzling has just begun outside. There’s simply no prior warning before it starts to pour. As much as I like such weather, I must concede it irritates me at the same time. My own clothes, not to mention the rest too are actually washed last Saturday are yet to be folded and nicely kept in the wardrobe. Still in the dining room waiting to be dried. Just half and hour ago I’ve brought them in. This is due to a lesson learnt last Sunday.
LIFE LESSON ON LAUNDRY
Firstly, rain can pour as early as in the morning and it can go on and off throughout the day.
Secondly, there won’t be any prior lightning or thunder to give you a sign / warning.
Thirdly, it can start as stealthily as it ends.
Fourthly, do not expect to hear any distant next door sounds on " Xia Yi, Sou Yi arr!" Surprising as it is, the occupants are probably not around and they’ve got maids. Thus, no hordes on children to collect the clothes.
Back to the Sunday’s scene, and so poor me was left without any prior warnings, and suddenly i heard sounds. I looked out the window and saw what I didn’t want to see. It was pouring heavier than right now, out of nowhere and all I heard was SHeeeeeeeeshhsehhhheseheshheshhshehhs………..Didn’t bother to bring them in, and at the end of the day, tucked them in the washing machine and there it went, SPIN!!!!!!
Yesterday alone, I can say a day of the laundry worker at work. 24/7 on the weather. Up and down the stairs to hang, oh.. weather’s not so good, in u go, oh sun’s out, go dry yourself, aik.. look! the dark clouds’re here again, haven’t you learnt..it pours without warning, down the stairs and out to the backyard.. collected and brought into the dining room. Laid them out on the chairs, brought in a fan and let it worked on them. And so was the scene in that room.
Even now…
